Yakface forum staffer localgotal is back again with yet another round of Concept Series figures he’s created.
This latest update sticks with his recent ROTJ theme, but shifts toward the Rebel Alliance. Check it out after the jump!
Note: I didnt’ realize that this particular Ishi Tib was a rebel, but apparently he is!
My oh my, what an uninspiring time the retail scene is these days for Star Wars…
5POA for the Solo line is front loaded with non-Solo movie figures, 6″ TBS is a rare store find at all, and TVC has kicked off with carry forwards that Walmart is pushing to the clearance section (hopefully this stops with Wave 2 and we see true peg space dedicated to them).
The only place worth even stopping to check out the Star Wars section at all in my neck of the woods is Target, who at least seems to be trying (but even there, the scene is pretty sad) . How goes it in your area?
Meanwhile, in Mattel’s Jurassic World section…
Our friend Raylen continues to add more 3.75″ diorama greatness for collectors to fill in gaps in their collections. After all, emperors need a place to sit – and rebels to guage battle strategy, right?
Head on over here to place an order, and join in the discussion in Raylen’s diorama thread in our forums!
The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series is back with an all-new chapter!
Check out the latest adventure of Rykrof Enloe by clicking here, and feedback and thoughts are always welcome here and in the forums!
We love the customizing community that shares their work in our forums and it’s time for a long overdue spotlight.
First up, forum member RookieOne kicks things off with several custom figures from the Rebel Alliance, including quite a few from Rogue One. Check those out here!
Next, johnmorog shows off a great custom Mud Trooper – while you’re waiting for Hasbro to get around to this figure, check out how he made his (including WIP pics) in his customizing thread.
Last but certainly not least, customizer nighthawk continues to pump out customs in both 3.75″ and 6″ scale, with some real gems that add some much needed articulation to Hasbro’s 5poa line.
EA Star Wars has released a new trailer showcasing Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo. Check it out and let us know what you think.
If you have any Target stores in your area, you may want to swing by and see if your local establishment is receiving some new aisle displays that contain more TVC figures, and even the somewhat elusive Wampa w/ Luke Skywalker. Good luck and happy hunting!
A new installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series will be released in June . For some full size previews, head on over to the forums.
If you’re looking for more cool 3.75″ style figures to add to your Solo: A Star Wars Story collection, you can order some “wind up” Fight Droids through Shop Disney that look to be pretty close to in scale with the standard 3.75″ scale brand by clicking here.
Special thanks to Yakface Forum member EndorJunkie for the heads up!
It looks like Disney’s latest Star Wars film isn’t meeting their expectations at the box office so far. Will that change? Are you planning on seeing it? Or seeing it again if you already had one showing? Share your thoughts!
Personal Note: I liked the movie quite a bit. It wasn’t epic in my opinion, but it was a worthwhile addition to the franchise. I think it’s worth seeing on the big screen as it’s a lot of fun. I know some are boycotting this movie due to their feelings about The Last Jedi, but one also has to factor in “Star Wars fatigue” right now with a second film in just 6 months… and I can say that there are a lot of people that I know that weren’t even aware this movie was being made (which surprised me – that might be something to think about too).
